Chris Cox, Executive Director of the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action, has been vocal about the NRA's opposition to the bill. "Criminals...will continue to get their firearms the way they always have — through the black market, theft, and straw purchases. Forcing more government paperwork and additional fees on good people trying to exercise a constitutional right will do nothing to make Americans safer," Cox said, according to NPR.
As The Daily Wire noted two weeks ago, the bill's advocates now face a very uphill fight in the Senate.

Even if it were to pass out of the full House, the bill faces nearly certain legislative death in the Republican-controlled Senate. While some blue state, pro-gun control Republicans such as Rep. Peter King (R-NY) have signed onto the measure, the overwhelming majority of congressional Republicans are generally reluctant to sign onto legislation opposed by Second Amendment supporters. Roll Call notes that, while Senate Democrats introduced a companion bill...the bill will face "stiff opposition" in the GOP-controlled upper chamber.
